Golden Fleece11 reviews
Robert J. Sawyer

Tor Books, 1999

science fiction at its best

+ I think,therefore, I am.
+ A Wrongful Death?

Science fiction is supposed to be a genre that uses real science to tell a good story with morals, lessons and ideas. Sawyer does exactly that in The Golden Fleece (no Greek mythology fans, the title is not coincidental). It explores AI, ET and human psychology, the only three forms of ...
  
  











  



  
The Terminal Experiment68 reviews
Robert J. Sawyer

Eos, 1995

A murder mystery that deals with the very definition of life and death!

+ An acquired taste
+ It's all in the brain...

Robert J Sawyer has never been an author to think small and he certainly didn't start in "The Terminal Experiment"! Soul-searching (literally) provocative discussions on the nature and the very definition of death, immortality, spirituality, morality, love, compassion, hatred, infidelity and more ...

Tor Books, 2007

Rollback to the Early Years

+ A science fiction story on a human scale

If you've read Mindscan, then Rollback will open so many fresh doors in the realm of living forever. A definite page turner. Sawyer has done his research and presented it in an interesting way.

Good Insight into a Great Writer and Interesting Guy

+ Across the Mind

Given his sales, I'm sure a lot of people have read Robert J. Sawyer's novels, but unless you spend time surfing his website at www.sfwriter.com or listening to him at one of the many scifi cons he attends, you don't really get the full picture. Rather than pushing an agenda or scare-mongering, ...

changing genes

+ How does Sawyer cram so much into one book?
+ MIND-EXPANDING IDEAS - GREAT STORY

"Frameshift" by Robert J. Sawyer, © 1997 This story has a very odd premise. It also presents a truly unusual theory for the growth and development of species, just like in another story: there are theories that stick in your craw and you try to set them right by looking at them outside the box ...

Couldn't put it down

+ An enthralling existential drama
+ Strong storyline ... Average Characters

Wow. I couldn't put this book down until I finished it. This is an excellent SciFi novel. Smooth as silk plotting and prose. Great fleshed out charactors, in a tale with lots of heart. Can't believe I've never read anything by this author, but I'm glad he's written quite a bit for me to catch up ...

Ace, 1999

Excellent Science Fiction!

+ I liked the book
+ OK, but not Great

This just happens to be the first Sawyer book I read; and I can say without a doubt it will not be the last. _Illegal Alien_ moves along at a tightly written pace that keeps you turning the pages and guessing where the plot will turn next. I'm not a crime or mystery reader per se, I tend to stick ...

Robert J. Sawyer won the 2003 Hugo Award for Best Novel of the Year for HOMINIDS. That win was well-deserved but I got to wondering how far back in his career he was writing award-caliber books before he snared the "Big One." The answer is: at least THIS far back. STARPLEX was the only 1996 ...
